Air source heat pumps in Northumberland Heath
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. If you are dealing with working out whether radiators need upsizing and comparing heat pump types, we can help.
For flats in Northumberland Heath, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. Permitted development limits are different for flats, so we check the position before we design.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Common questions in Northumberland Heath
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Northumberland Heath?
Northumberland Heath is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Northumberland Heath?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Northumberland Heath
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- What electrical work the job needs
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.
Before you get in touch
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What we do, step by step
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Northumberland Heath.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Heat pumps in Northumberland Heath: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 40% of homes in Northumberland Heath and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1919 to 1939. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Hall Place and Gardens, roughly 1.8 miles south, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings. If you live near Barnehurst station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.
Northumberland Heath is about 3 miles north-west of Dartford, in Greater London. Wherever you are in the DA8 postcode area, our engineers can take on air source heat pumps. Our list for Greater London has 764 entries and Northumberland Heath is among them. For properties nearby, see our Bromley page, about 8 miles away.
Our nearest recent job to Northumberland Heath was on Station Road, Orpington (BR6), about 7 miles south-west: installing three Daikin cassette units in the main office area and a wall-mounted unit in the client meeting room.
If you need air source heat pumps at a property on Mill Road, Penda Road and Chalk Road or a nearby road, our engineers can take on the work.

We also cover Bexley Riverside (1 mile south-east), Erith (1 mile north), Barnehurst (1 mile south), Belvedere (1 mile north-west) and Lessness Heath (1 mile north-west).

The closest station to Northumberland Heath is Barnehurst station, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre.

For landlords and property managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Different systems, different jobs
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you cannot get a grant to replace a low-carbon system, and hybrid systems are not eligible.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger, and the survey checks each one.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
